Bats are not just Halloween Mascots!

Dr Thomas French will present an overview of the various bat species that occur in MA and talk about the serious issues facing our native bat populations, specifically the non-native disease called White Nose Syndrome which resulted in an unexpected and sudden decline in MA bats. Climate change could impact bats as well. Bats are also killed by harmful development projects such as wind turbines that are placed along migratory routes.
